I have been visiting Sanger cemetery with my mom and relatives since I was a little girl. Almost…read moreall of my family is buried there. It always looks beautiful and has such a peaceful feeling out in the country, with all the tree roses, the huge old trees, and peacocks and roosters crowing in the background. Always clean and well maintained. I always make it a point to drop into the office and let Teri know how beautiful everything looks and to please pass on my compliments to the employees. Recently we buried my mom. We had her service at the funeral home and just a direct, private burial at the cemetery with only my brother and I attending. Two of the cemetery employees helped the two Farewell Funeral Home employees carry my mother to her burial site. They were so respectful, standing with their heads bowed and hands crossed and I was pretty overcome with emotion to have the help of these two cemetery workers carry my mom to her final resting place. The preparation and condition of the site was immaculate and so orderly. I recently attended a graveside service at a cemetery in Fresno that I will not name. The grounds were dangerous with gopher mounds and holes and massive tree roots. The grave site preparation was dangerous in my opinion and unsafe for people to be walking around. An elderly man tripped and fell on a rope tying down a tent and could have been seriously injured. There was no comparison in the dignity with which my mother's casket was taken to her gravesite compared to the bouncing precarious dragging of a trolley with the casket at the other service. Employees are always friendly when I am out putting out flowers or polishing up headstones of family members. I always look forward to visiting there. Teri who runs the office is always friendly and was so compassionate when I was feeling my saddest. I always like to give credit where credit is due and the employees at the Sanger Cemetery certainly deserve credit for a job well done!

In such a devastating time of having to deal with death you might be putting your trust in this…read morebusiness without a guarantee that they can be counted on. For on 12/19 /2015 I received from owner, Karen Franzen copies and a handwritten note with the names and dollar amount of coverage from two policies belonging to my dad. Then on 01/05 /2016 we notified Dopkins Funeral Home in Dinuba that we would be needing my dad's body to be picked up, once again coverage was verified. About 5 or 6 hours later we were ready for them to come. So again we called, only to be told that one of the policies had expired. Obviously staff members failed in doing their job. It is without question that their inaccuracy of providing such critical information should not be mistaken. For in doing so, my Dad's funeral services were not as we had hoped and planned. It's not like we can have another funeral again to give him what he truly deserved. Instead of comfort in helping us to start healing we felt more pain to say the least. Oh and if it was up to me they wouldn't even be getting a one star rating but you can't post a review unless at least one star is given. Sincerely, Janiçe Collier-Cavazos

When my mother passed away a few years ago I was told by my family that I would have to write her eulogy. I was terrified and drew a blank.

It turned out beautiful. I was so proud of myself afterwards. I felt like it's hard to believe that it was me that wrote it!

In mid june 2020 my father n law, Cruz Galaviz was laid to rest. My wife and siblings went to…read moreThomas Marcom(Selma)to make arrangements. My wife came back later and said the hispanic female(later identified as Clara) that worked there was rude. I thought it was just emotions and just reassured her everything was going to be ok. Due to COVID recommendations only 50 people were allowed in the funeral home during the viewing. An employee was at the entrance to make sure this happened. I felt it was odd they restricted the viewing location by shutting off half of the room for the viewing. It was very crowded and made no sense if they wanted social distancing. They could have left the entire room open and still restricted it to 50 people. I'm a Veteran so I wanted to assist by reaching out to Veteran services since Cruz was an honorably discharged Veteran. I reached out to Veteran's services who were great. They set up the "Riders" who are Veterans who escort the body to the cemetery from the funeral home. The burial was to take place at 1000hrs in Selma, so the entire family got to the funeral home the next morning at 0930-0945hrs and were told by a family member the funeral home employees and "Riders" left at 0930hrs to the cemetery. The wife, children, grandchildren and everyone showed up to the funeral home to escort their husband, dad and grandfather to the cemetery and were not told about leaving at 0930. The employees from the funeral home never mentioned they were gonna leave early and made no attempt to wait or call for family, even though a family member was present at 0930 and told them the family was not aware of this. The family then raced to the cemetery where they were expected to stay in their car which would be 25 to 100 yards away. The family got out of their cars and stood about 25-50 feet away and Clara attempted to make everyone go to their car. She then said "just stand on the sidewalk, we don't own the side walk". Wouldn't you think she would have enough compassion to say this the night before, who in their right mind is going to stay in the car when their dad is being laid to rest, were they going to find the correct car and give the flag to the wife? It just didn't make sense. You would think if she found a way for the family to be closer and it was ok to do so, she would have said something. Balloons and pigeons were being released and it appeared as if they wanted all this done from the car. One bundle of balloons were not properly tied and flew away before the burial occurred but nothing was said about it, I think Clara and an older gentlemen(employee) thought nobody seen this happen, and made no apologies. Its my opinion when your doing something for a long time it could becomes routine and you forget why you are doing it. I think the employees have forgotten why they got into this profession(just my opinion). It has been a month now and we called for a death certificate, but of course it was not there yet. We went to the county and got it ourselves. Multiple calls were made to Clara and we found out it wasn't even ordered. Still waiting on a call for a refund for the death certificate. I'm only related through marriage, but I could not believe what was happening. There was no compassion given to the family, empathy was not provided with the price, it was just shocking. The "Riders" and the veterans services were on point, I thanked one of the "Riders" for coming and he stated with full compassion "he is our brother". Hats off to the Riders.

I highly do NOT recommend this funeral home to anyone unless your looking to get ripped off then…read morethis would be the spot to go. They really just want your money and don't have any concern sympathy or care for your loss. They don't give you any options on a coffin "he" will just tell you which one he's gonna give you and not even bother showing it to you. They wanted to over charge us on services and didn't give us a proposal. Don't expect a handshake or any condolences from them they won't even bother so you just might have to go up to "him" and pretty much put your hand in his face and make "him" feel like he has to shake your hand. I never put any one on this website or any website to give a bad review but in all honesty I had no choice I would hate for another family to go threw the same thing we went threw.

Spoke to Judy about how we go about burying our mothers ashes next to our fathers grave. Judy walked us through the steps of getting a CA burial permit, the costs involved with a burial of ashes, selecting a date and having a new headstone placed. The new headstone was delivered late by the monument company to the Reedley Cemetery; to our surprise upon our arrival, it had been set and ready for our final good-bye (we live in other states and may have never been able to return to view the new headstone). Thanks again, Reedley Cemetery staff.

The RCD needs to invest on some cameras or have it patrolled in the evenings. There are parties there anywhere from 5 to 10 people with tables set out and eating Sundays are the worst days. Kids running around over graves playing on the light poles. I mean this is not a park! Dog also present leaving dog poop. This is a place of being able to have peaceful visits with our loved ones that have passed and not to get stressed out with all the disrespectful people who think they can use this cemetery like a park. Ridiculous! Also there are vehicles parked there near the back of the buildings for hours and they aren't there to visit any loved one. Seems like something else is going on there and I'm sure it's not good. Other people have told me the same thing of what they have also observed. The administration to me seems not to care that this goes on. The secretary told me that she knows that this goes on and had the attitude that what ever happens after they close is not on them. So I don't understand how they can run this business without compassion to keep allowing this to go on, because it has been going on a long amount of time. I hope that the administration reads this and realizes that this is to disrespectful and does something about it. Something needs to be done , because I can't even have a respectful quite visit with my mom. All I get when I leave is sadness and such disrespectfulness.
